I recommend you to call Attorney John Foley.

We tried to do our adjustment of status on our own but it didn’t go well. We called Attorney Foley after we received a denial notice from USCIS. Attorney Foley called the USCIS Supervisor who signed our denial notice and not only did she agree to review our case but she agreed to reschedule our…

Dealing with US immigration was one of the scariest things I have ever done.

Dealing with US immigration was one of the scariest things I have ever done. I had been illegal for years. Attorney Foley explained to me what he was going to do before he did it. He told me what to expect and it was like he had a crystal ball. After a very anxious interview…

I am really grateful for the outstanding service

I am really grateful for the outstanding service I got from Foley Law Offices. Attorney Foley successfully handled my initial DACA and EAD petitions 2 years ago, giving me the opportunity to work and finish school.

John helped me adjust my status after I married a U.S. citizen.

John helped me adjust my status after I married a U.S. citizen. He took care of all of the forms and all of the supporting documentation that goes with the forms. To me, it was extremely complex but John had it all organized and our interview with INS only took 30-minutes. Two years later, he…

We needed immediate guidance on the revocation of my employment-based green card.

We researched online for good lawyers who can help us evaluate our status and recommend next steps. Our main concern was not to jeopardize our current status and future visa in the US. After calling several big law firms, we couldn’t get anywhere and didn’t get much traction and the consultation fees were too high. Luckily, I came across…
